Wolcott gets windfall on energy project
The students and staff at Wolcott School are in for a cozy winter this year despite what mother nature may have in store.
The Federal Energy Office has granted the school 90 percent of its request for a $20,000 winterization plan. The plan which was drawn up by Greg Paas of a Hyde Park firm, calls for insulating parts of the old building and replacing the heating and ventilation system.
The school had expected to get 50 percent of its request, but the federal energy office granted 90 percent or $18,000 because of the energy needs of the school and the community needs, according to Supt. of Schools Bruce Richardson.
